    ..I found them in Wilder Vt near Connecticut river..what is it?thank you.

    Answer

    Dear switbut3rfly, you've photographed Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn-olive), a non-native member of the autumn-olive family that is found throughout much of New England. While invasive, this plant also produces a delicious fruit. Best wishes.
